    The green dial is on Jomashop for $115 right now. And both black and green dial are on Amazon and creation watches for decent prices.

    I'm still torn. Not sure if I want the black or green.

    Is it strange that I do not like 5's? I wanted to buy them on many occasions, but every time I saw it real life, I was disappointed in some aspect of it...

    I totally know what you mean.
    I feel the same way with 98% of them.
    But fair is fair, so I will say they get 2% right flawlessly.

    But, since they are SO consistent in their imperfection, I have to also wonder if this is not some "cultivated" sensibility on their part.
    A kind of artificial imperfection, not to say wabi-sabi, but some specific aesthetics that is tuned to deliberate imperfection or defective beauty.

    Thank goodness for custom parts.
    There is no error so monstrous that it fails to find defenders among the ablest men.

    I'm not sure if that's actually the case, but I love the idea.
